I know I used a couple of public internet sites while in pattaya and bangkok and they could have easily been the ones because i only use my home computer to do transfers. So just be aware of public internet sites while on vacation, and make sure your accounts have instant warnings on any activity to your accounts. It saved me alot of money becuase they caught the tranaction in time before they could be completed, and stopped the transfer.
Hope this helps

I usually try to put enough in my ATM a/c to cover all contingencies but there are times I need to access my accounts.
Checked out my bank's website and they allow you to create an alternative login with limited facilities.
Have now set up an alternative login that allows me to view all accounts and only transer money bewteen 2 accounts. So, even if someone does trap my signon and password, all they could do would be to transfer money between the 2 nominated accounts.
Thanks slinggalin, you have done me a big favour.
